 There should be a file here called:
   dta_217x_platform
 \\
+rename this file or you won't be able to create the relevant directory:
+\\
+  mv dta_217x_platform dta_217x_platform.org
+\\
+Now you can create the following directory (ensure you are in /var/opt/mediakind/platform)
+\\
+  mkdir dta_217x_variant
+\\
+Navigate to /var/opt/mediakind/platform/dta_217x_variant
+\\
+  cd /var/opt/mediakind/platform/dta_217x_variant
+\\
+To set the card variant type we need to assign a number for that card mode, lets assume we want card 1 in HD mode (variant 1) and card 2 in UHD mode (variant 2):
+\\
+  echo 1 > /var/opt/mediakind/platform/dta_217x_variant/1
+  echo 2 > /var/opt/mediakind/platform/dta_217x_variant/2
+\\
+This file is read at boot, so for the configuration to apply you need to reboot the unit.
